Though the Rehani were an unknown species (at least as far
as Nara, Ylana, and everyone else they’d spoken with were concerned), they had
no difficulty with communication. Their
telepathic communications effortlessly leapt over every linguistic barrier, and
their natural grace left Ylana enraptured.

The fact that they’d also swooped in and saved this world
from the Kryllians, and the thought that they could perhaps liberate her people,
added to her sense of reverence.

However, as she and Nara stepped into the meeting that had
been arranged with the captain of the Rehani ship, neither of the women could
have anticipated the shocking revelation that awaited them.
